B., G. & F. RAILROAD.

OUR AUTHORIZATIONS ALMOST REALIZED-THk
ROAD MUST BE BUnT-ENERY NAN MUST
DO HIS DUTY.
On Saturday last the Tallahassee, cambridge
& Western Railroad Company was organized In
Cuthbert, under q charter granted by the last
Legislature. This company superseded the old
c., G. & F. Company, securing the right OF way
and road bed belonging TO the latter from this
place to cambridge. Immediately after the or
ganization of the T., B. & W. Company arrange
ments were made with the parties interested in
the Birmingham, Georgia & Florida road where
by the right of way and road bed of the old G.,
G. & F. road were secured for the B., q. q. r:
upon conditions that the road be built 1t
will thus be seen that all the preliminary
steps have been taken for the early building
of road from Birmingham, Ala, via Ope-
near Florence, in Stewart county, Ga, thence
by Cuthber, cambridge and Tallahassee to
the Gulf 1t has been known in Cuthbert for
some weeks that negotiations looking to the re-
suits Just consumated have been pending, but I'M
til something tangible had been reached we had
deemed it prudent to say nothing concerning
them. We are now assured that the active and
hearty cooperation of the people along the line
is all that is necessary to secure the building
of this road in time to move the cotton crop
of 1887. The Birmingham, Georgia q Florida
Company is fully organized and ready TO COM
mence active operations Immediately, soSsoOn as
the amounts asked of the different coun-
test through which the road will psss shall have
been pledged. They have all the appliances nee
essarY for railroad building already in possession
With one days notice they are prepared to go to
work with large force. In order to secure the
road ii will be necessary for Randolph county
to pledge to the company $4,000, to be
paid when, and not until, the road is COM
plete and trains are running. OF this amount
$4,000 have already been pledged, almost
three-fourths of the whole amount 1t remains
with the people Of the county to say whether or
not the remaining $1,000 will be forthcoming.
We cannot allow ourself to doubt for moment
that our people will come forward promptly in
this matter. With the Columbus Southern built
by Dawson to Albany, unless we secure this
through line from Birmingham to the Gulf Cuth-
bert and Randolph county are ruined. Can II
be possible that those of our people who own
property in this county WILL rather than donate
a small amount to this railroad enterprise, see
that property so deprecated in value as to be:
come practically worthless? With this road
built, the real estate of Randolph county will
double in value in less than twelve months
Without it the brightest page of our history ha:
already been written and the future Is wrapped
| in gloom But we do not doubt. We have nc
fears. Our people will nay, they must, come &c
| the rescue What is done, lett be done quickly
Come, and come at once, with your subscrip
tons that work may begin. Let the watchword
be: "On to cambridge, Tallahassee and thu
Gulf 2"

NOW FOR THE SUPREME EFFORT

Senator Mitchell Of Oregon takes the only
rational view of the solution Of the Chinese
question-that is to say, the total prohib-
ten Of the immigration OF these people no
matter what may be the place Of their de-
parture. He introduced bill to that effect
in the last Congress No Restriction Act,
modelled on that supposed TO be in operation
now, would do the least good. 1t has been
a bonanza to the Federal Courts in this city,
and the Man-dealers OF Canton. Absolute
prohibition is the only rule that will reach
the case. 1t had better be set up now than
by.and-by when the friction has increased.
Senator Mitchell will introduce his bill the
second time in the next Congress. The Sen
storial delegation from the Pacific States is
probably the strongest combination in the
Senate intellectually. The powerful aid of
Senator Stewart will now be available. Re-
enforced by Jones, Dolph, Stanford and
Hearst, there ought to be no chance Of de-
feat. The six Senators from the Pacific
Coast stand, Republicans 4, Democrats 2.
If the bill should pass the Senate the Demo
cratic House will have to caucus or shoulder
the political responsibility. 1t was in that
body that the efforts to amend the Restrlc-
ton Act last session failed. Perry Belmont,
Democrat Of New York, Chairman Of the
Committee on Foreign Relations, threw all
the obstacles in its way. If Carlisle is re-
elected speaker and he reappoints Belmont
there will be no difficulty in discovering the
precise point where the Six Companies are
getting in their works. F. Bulletin.

HALF.MASTING THE FLAG.

The hanging of four murderers in Chicago
has called forth number Of loud protests
from various quarters. A lot Of maccaroni
eaters in Milan marched the streets and pass
ed resolutions to the effect that the legal ex-
ecution of four Anarchists in Chicago must
be avenged. Several hundred Germans in
Massachusetts, also INDUCED in professions
and speeches and actually half-masted an
American flag, an insult which was immedi-
ately resisted by the residents Of the place.
During the past two years there has been
class Of hot.headed foreigners lwho have ap
parently reached the conclusion that they
have sufficient numbers to be able to
run this Government Americans are not
as quick to resent insults to their flag as
men of other nationalities but when the linn
it of good temper and patience is passed
Americans are in position to teach fools
and lunatics that the flag which their ances-
tors fought for some generations ago is not to
be toyed with by the sympathizers Of anarchy
or half.masted by any living man on such a
day as last Friday, November nth, 1857.
The main cause of this insolent aggressive
ness on the part of foreigners is because
American politicians PROSTATE themselves to
these foreigners for their votes.-APPeaI.

THE exuberant and unanimous individ.
uals who are proclaiming that Mr.. Cleve-
land is already reelected are requested to
bear in mind that the Presidential votes will
not be counted until about twelve months
hence. Success or failure for the Democra-
cy in the Presidential canvass will be deter
mined by the action which that party takes
in Congress in the coming session upon two
or three pressing questions before the country.
A great many startling changes may be made
in the political complexion of things between
now and next November.

THE English papers appear to think
that the hanging Of the Anarchists at Chica-
60 was to severe measures to take. What
England thinks, however, will not have
much weight in the matter. The men who
were hung com mitted murder, crime pun
ishable by hanging in this country, and there
is not true born A merican who is not glad
at the bottom Of his heart that for once the
law was strictly enforced. Anarchists are
skunks. They are afraid to commit delib'
crate murder, but will take the chances Of
killing several people to get even with one,
by throwing their internal bombs into
crowd. If there is any punishment se0re
enough for such crime we would like to
know what it is.

The British Consul at Vera Cruz is
alarmed at the way in which railway commu.
nication with the United States is cutting in
10 the trade of England with Mexico. Low
freight rates, the parcel pest system and
quickness of communication are doing the
ii me that American enterprise should begin
to make its way in Mexico against English
and German trade. If eur people will take
the same pains as their European rivals to
study the wants and ways Of the Mexicans,
they can still further absorb their trade.

THERE is much trouble about establish
ing road between Wabuska and Greenfield
in Mason Valley, and the county is being
put to considerable expense by law suits,
etc. This is not as it should be. The PEG,
pie Of the Valley petitoned for a road TO
run in certain place and the Commission
ers have tried their best to give them a
road, and have been met by law suit. On
the other hand it is not right to damage a
mans property any more than can be help
ed. The best way would be to be sure you
are right on both sides before you 60 ahead.
In the Mason Valley case we believe the
Commissioners acted to the best of their
knowledge in the matter and cannot be
blamed At the same time of course, Mr.
Mcleod had right to make objection to
the road going through his land if he was
net given what was deemed sufficient dam

Alleged Cures Performed by a
Faith-cure Minister in Benton
County.

FOWLER, IND, Jan. 20.-Some time
since there came to Gibson township.
Benton county, gentleman named
Merrill, claiming TO be minister OF
the faith cure. lie began preaching
in Shiloh church, and soon attracted
large audiences TO hear the strange
doctrine. He claimed 10 be able to
heal the sick, cause the deaf to hear,
cast out devils-in fact, cure all all
ments that the body is heir to. He
presented his views so ably that
numbers of afflicted ones, who had
been diseased in body for years, be-
came ardent believers in his doctrine,
and confessed themselves benefited
in every case, and in some permanent
cures seem TO have been effected. His
mode of procedure is as follows:
First,he annoints the patient with oil,
then, placing his hands upon the
head, he offers PRAYER that the patient
be given the faith TO believe the cure
